Well talking to yw invoked alot of feelings about time left. Especially relevant for time left with my parents. Well not cursing them hell not..i've always wished my life was shorter to give them better health and a longer life but i have to be realistic i guess. My parents are already in the their late 50s and they well only have like 20-30 more years with me. Do i want to spend my years wasting time away and only having them leave and regretting? I think not.
I solemnly swear that i Xie Shangzhao will help in any way that i can to accompany my parents be it for a short while or for grocery shopping. Grocery shopping, i'll help my mom with it whenever she goes there or when my parents go for sunday walks at mac ritchie, i will at least follow them there take a run but i won't follow them for breakfast of course..think of all the annoying uncles and aunties whom will just comment on my hair..jolly irritating.
Well..there isn't much time left and i don't want to leave them with just an unfilial child. The least i could do is just to accompany them.
There's more to life than just games and friends and they are my parents.
Cherish it...or you'll miss it.

Hmm..just suddenly felt the urge to blog as i'm upon sudden realisation that we are all growing up. Suddenly just felt that Josh having a gf was kinda like a growing up process. We used to be in an all boys sec school and had all the fun in the world without the need to care about girls and just having each other was enough. Haha..those were the days..and we are all slowly growing up.
Haha well whatever time i have left with him before he starts devoting all his time to his gf i should take if not i'll lose this good friend in time. This is life ain't it?
Well..the future still looks bright though. However, yw also looks like the kind of guy who will get a gf anytime soon haha...then i'll be left alone..well...i can't possibly go back to my old lifestyle of playing games and being a hermit. Maybe i'll find something nicer to do like reading? Haha who knows but it might be a blessing in disguise though. I'll become more learned and at least brush up on my engrish haha..engrish i know but english i don't.
Come to think of it my past life in secondary school seemed so loserish. Doing nothing except going home and playing games and not doing anything else and i never once cherished my close friends and not making an effort to keep in contact with them. Maybe i'm making up for lost time now and trying to change. I hope it's still not too late haha. Just 2 more months and i'm 20 and that's like 1/4 of my life gone...i don't want to end up regretting.

Dream - Common, will.i.am,
[Chorus - Will.i.am and Martin Luther King]
I am happy...I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out
(I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out out out(That One Day )
We gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out
(I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day) That one day
(That One Day) I'ma look deep within myself
(I Have a Dream) I gotta find a way...My Dream Is To Be Free
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To Be Free
[Verse 1]
In search of brighter days,
I ride through the maze of the madness,
Struggle is my address,
where pain and crack lives,
Gunshots comin' from sounds of Blackness,
Given this game with no time to practice,
Born on the Black list,
told I'm below average,
A life with no cabbage,
That's no money if you from where I'm from,
Funny,
I just want some of your sun,
Dark clouds seem to follow me,
Alcohol that my pops swallowed bottled me,
No apology,
I walk with a boulder on my shoulder,
It's a Cold War - I'm a colder soldier,
Hold the same fight that made Martin Luther the King,
I ain't usin' it for the right thing,
In between Lean and the fiends,
hustle and the schemes,
I put together pieces of a Dream
I still have one
[Verse 2]
The world's seen me lookin' in the mirror,
Images of me,
gettin' much clearer,
Dear Self,
I wrote a letter just to better my soul,
If I don't express it then forever I'll hold,
insideI'm from a side where we out of control,
Rap music in the 'hood played a fatherly role,
My story's like yours,
yo it gotta be told,
Tryna make it from a gangsta to a godlier role,
Read scrolls and stow slaves,
And Jewish people in cold cage,
Hate has no color or age,
flip the page,
Now my rage became freedom,
Writin' dreams in the dark,
they far but I can see 'em,
I believe in Heaven more than Hell,
Blessings more than jail,
In the ghetto let love prevail,
With a story to tell,
my eyes see the glory and well,
The world waitin' for me to yell "I Have a Dream"
Pretty meaningful lyrics eh? Basically this song created for the movie showcases the life of the real students who lived like this before they met Erin Gruwell. Man..i'm damn interested to read the diaries of the freedom writers gahh..can't wait to go back SG and rush kinokuniya.

Instead of blaming why not try solving? Whatever it is don't diss your parents by calling them stupid. No matter how much you don't get along, they are the ones that raise you up. Unless your parents were drunkards or bums and you are the one supporting the whole family then you have reason to call them that but still it is not right. Sometimes we take things for granted and forget that we are actually very blessed. Have i matured in my thinking? I don't know..but i hope that it is. Lol but i'm still the lazy fat ass though :D
Freedom writers, why didn't i watch this movie earlier? Haha it's a inspiring movie makes me treasure the process of learning instead of sitting on my ass everyday to play computer i should be out borrowing books to read and learn. However, the first book i want to read is definitely the freedom writers diaries. Contains the stories of the student whom were taught by Erin Gruwell. They have such complex and troubling stories, it makes u want to treasure your life more. If you think you have problems look at how they lived and they are really the true heroes. Just ordinary people trying to adapt to their environment until one true caring teacher decided to give them an education. Would you find such a teacher in SG? However, we SG people have been used to a life of comfort and can never understand how they lived and how they felt. One thing's for sure though, somehow deep in the recesses of my soul something's stirring. I don't know what but when i go back sg, i will hunt for the books by the freedom writers. That's one thing for sure.
Haha anyway, 30 more days before i reach Singapore..just bear with it...sz just bear with it..
